Hey everyone,
I have a sick Pristella Tetra who is missing its tail and looks to have some kind of white spot on its head? I have had this fish about 6 or 7 years so I'm thinking maybe he is getting sick from old age? I have attached a photo, any advice would be greatly appreciated. His schooling friends have all passed on already so he is the only one left. All of the other fish appear to be healthy, although two weeks ago I did have a harlequin rasbora with a swim bladder problem who has since passed away, not sure if that is related. He seems to be swimming normally, is there anything I can do for him? Just doing a water change right now. Any advice would be appreciated.
All of the fish are old and I'm just kind of letting nature take its course with these babies and won't add any new fish until that happens.
